those are just some of my collection but there are loads more,
Don't forget the Fun School series of programs also

@sundown
my condolences also. I remember Asha from early days when I could access Fidonet from Hairnett BBS. Like MikeyC says, another Amiga stalwart gone.

@Joeled

very, very interesting. results so far look promising

@TrevorDick

never mind I'm just an old fart anyway
Merry Christmas

@orgin
Brilliant news, I will try it out immediately. Thanks

@TCD
already registered for FB. will try to link with friends.

@Mikey_C
oh goody!!
pencilled in and cake piece reserved.

@Mikey_C
do we have grounds for for name copyright here? I thought vista was a landscape generator

@Elwood
well done to all of you who worked so hard on our behalf. We will indeed see the benefits in kind if more people become interested in Amiga again. A great report too.

@caver99
have you registered your copy of OS4.0? If so all the updates are available on Hyperions website as is OS4.0 final. You can only access them if you register your software.

@Rogue
would one of the Mac dual cpu modules be able to work with A1 XE if it could be physically made to fit? it has the same connector, not sure about pinouts though. Cpu's are the same 7455 as A1.

@Rudei
yep it worked fine in my other A1.

Hi all,
Just recently helped out BillE with a reworked and upgraded cpu module (7457 1.26ghz), and he in turn sent me his old module in exchange (7451 800mhz).
I have had a second A1XE, non working, for nearly a year now and had tried everything to get it to fire up uboot with no result. But I have just tried BillE's old cpu module with it and it has fired up no problem.
Figure that one out!!!!!

@Elwood
Thanks for the pics, wish I was there.

@Snuffy
Thanks for the tip but it does not make any difference to my machine. green light comes on and stays on.
there appears to be a common power supply failure on the board since the PSU works fine. The sound card and graphics card do not power up nor the floppy drive and i suspect the hard drive. but the cdrom does as does the cpu fan.

@LiveForIt
I have all the settings set the same as my other A1XE which also has an 7457 cpu at 1.266 ghz. All the parts from the faulty computer work fine with the working one. The motherboard will light up the little green power led but seems to not want to supply power to the AGP graphics card and/ or the pci slots. there is no serial output that i can see so I am stuck unless there is an electronics engineer willing to have a look at it. Seriously, the puter needs to be made to work so that it can go to a developer who does not already have access to an A1 or OS4.

@Snuffy
I didn't realise he lives in Michigan USA, never mind, I will donate something in paypal instead.

@Mikey_C
I would be happy to let Ken have the A1XE that I am trying to get working, All is built except that the motherboard will not power up. The cpu has been reworked and upgraded to 7457 at 1.267ghz at my expense (I sold off my a1200 tower with Blizzard PPC and Bvision earlier this year to pay for it) and I know it works because i have used it in my other A1XE. All the other cards and memory and psu have been tested on another machine. If he is an electronics expert or knows of one then I am happy to bring the machine as it is to MagBash and hand it over to him.
Should he want a Sam 440 instead then I would understand. I would however still like the machine to go to a developer. I am unable to do anymore to get the motherboard running since I am no electronics expert.
